 * Yes, that's the error that was reported in the PR (ports/17344).
 * Since the bug would cause bad pointers to be freed and such things,

Ok, but my observation contradicts asmodai's findings.  Both the PR
and asmodai reports this error on 3-stable, and asmodai said mktable
segfaults under 4-{current,stable}.  I saw this on 4-current (actually
4.0-release, this is the package building machine).

 * Hmm, that I don't understand.  The guy who filed the PR said that
 * reverting patch-aa made it all work for him.  He's running
 * 3.4-stable from March 4, by the way.

This looks like what asmodai reported on 4-{current,stable}.

By the way, I repeated the tests on a 3-stable chroot environment (on
a 4-current machine), and it fixed the w3m and ja-w3m builds.
